Fill light presets for PV2012

I don't claim that these will match PV2010 fill light.  What I claim is, these applied after import will provide a fill light - like effect similar in strength to fill light of the same name.  I used to start many of my images with fill light, and these are a way to get to similar starting points faster.
Fill Light 20
Exposure 0.27
Contrast -15
Highlights -10
Shadows +10
Clarity 5
Saturation 5
Fill Light 40
Exposure 0.55
Contrast -30
Highlights -20
Shadows +20
Clarity 10
Saturation 10
Fill Light 60
Exposure 0.83
Contrast -50
Highlights -50
Shadows +50
Clarity 20
Saturation 25
Fill Light 80
Exposure 1.1
Contrast -60
Highlights -50
Shadows +50
Clarity 20
Saturation 25

Well, whilst it may well be a bug, it still can be used to create some interesting images. Try setting the Black level slider to the same value as Fill light one - this creates an interesting stylized effect. This however does not work on all the images.
Look for Paris photos (colour ones) here http://www.aletan.com - these are examples where Fill light and blacks were both upped to 100.

  • How to create a preset for computer output of 1024x768?

    I just upgraded from Premiere Elements 1.0 (yes, 1! :) ) to PE7. I record user group meetings for my local software developers group. We have screen capture at 1024x768 pixels and audio.
    In PE1 I had no trouble bringing this footage in, editing it and exporting it as 1024x768 for viewing online by the members.
    However, I can't seem to find anyway to create a project preset for 1024x768. It seems I can only create SD, HD and similar.
    When attempting to create a custom preset 90% of the values are pre-filled with settings and I can't change them. I see textboxes for the height and width but I can't change them.
    Is this a limitation of PE7? Why in the world can I not create a video any size I want? Without this ability the upgrade is almost useless to me.
    Please let me know because I feel like I must just be missing something.
    Thanks!
    Matt

    Hey Steve,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I did see the 720p preset and this does produce a nice image. The SD preset made the output look muddy and the screen text was unreadable.
    That being said, when importing my media into a project on the 720p preset I get the black letterbox bars on the side.
    I did render a 10 second test area and changed the output size to 1024x768. I was afraid it would squash the entire video, but much to my surprise it just cropped it. So, while I have to work with the letterboxing I can output an actual 1024x768 video. I was also having a little trouble because I was using File - Export Movie to, well, export my movie. When I tried the Share task, set it to PC and changed the settings this was much easier and produced a much better result.
    Thanks for the help!
    FYI, I use PE7 to export it as a wmv. I'm playing with Expression Encoder to then encoded this with VC-1 for Silverlight clients.

  • Using Presets for Printing Panoramas

    I have created a generic preset for printing panoramas on an Epson 4900 connected to a Mac with OS 10.8.4. Using the Epson printer driver's Page Setup via Lightroom 5, I reset the length of the panorama for each print and then update the Lightroom preset. Everything else in the preset is correct for my prints (paper, profiles, etc.).
    I have, however, periodically had the problem that even after resetting the print length in the driver and updating the generic panorama preset, that the print is the wrong length (either too long or too short) even though all indications are that everything is set correctly (see below). This can occur even if I shutdown and restart Lightroom (I have also had this problem in LR4).
    I would like to known how to correctly set up a panorama so paper is not wasted due to an incorrect length.
    The following items appear to be set correctly:
    (1) Printer Driver Page Setup paper size
    (2) The Lightroom Preset for the generic panorama (Both the print size and paper size. I looked at the text of the preset settings via TextEdit) I note that there is binary information at the bottom of the Lightroom preset. Is that being correctly updated?
    (3) The print display in Lightroom (the image correctly fills the print template which is of the correct size)
    (4) The print cell size in Lightroom is the size I have set in the printer driver
    The different sized panorams were printed on different days and the printer was turned off between those days. Cut sheet prints were also printed in between the panorams.
    One panorama was 8 feet long but it was truncated at 39 inches twice before it printed correctly (after I restarted Lightroom but not the printer). The other was correctly printed 58 inches long but on 8 feet of paper (which was blank after the image).
    I find it hard to believe the printer is remembering an old size (even after being powered off) but if Lightroom is not sending new information, I suppose that is possible.
    Allyn

    Hi Venu,
    Don't know about best-practice, but you can do this by using the file adapter, using the "Run Operating System Command" to execute a print command on the file.
    The file can be formatted in a mapping program.

  • Camera Raw 4.0 Fill Light Slider Not Working

    Hi,
    Just installed Photoshop CS3, and I'm having an annoying problem.
    When using Camera Raw 4.0, all the sliders work smootly except for the Filli Light slider. Its the only slider that is almost impossible to adjust via dragging the slider via my mouse. Of course, this is probably my most frequently used adjustment.
    The Photoshop CS3 was a clean install, directly from the CD provided by Adobe.
    There was never any Beta version installed.
    Sure hope that you can help.
    Thanks,
    Ira

    The Fill Light adjustment is the single most processor intensive of all the controls in Lightroom. When you first move the slider it causes Camera Raw to generate a large blur copy of the image and that takes a bit if time. During that initial bit if time, fill Light will NOT be as responsive as the other controls in Lightroom...it only takes a moment but if you are trying to make adjustments while CR is building the mask, you'll get jittery results. The key to using it is to move the adjustment off zero, pause a bit while the mask is being generated and then start fine tuning the adjustment. After that initial move off zero is done, it should be about as fast as most of the other controls-and no, you DON'T want CR to auto-generate the mask for every image by default, it would make Camera Raw much slower overall.

  • Visible artifacts caused by Fill Light in Lightroom

    With the LR V1.0 I noted in many cases very strange looking highlight-shadow edges. This was very pronounced in same cases, and never appeared with RawShooter in similar situations. After having done some experiments I think that one culprit is the Fill Light algorithm. Please take a look at the following example. Its a quite ordinary 8Mpix Canon CR2 file with an ordinary landscape scene. I soon I use some "fill light" to bring up the shadows on the mountain, strange "band of pixels" appears along the edge of the trees and the sky. RawShooter has a similar Fill Light algorithm, which does not case such side effects.
    At first I thought that too strong jpeg compression might be causing this, but that I saw this in the Lightroom screen before any conversion.
    I made a few screen dumps from 1:1 view of this image fragments:
    http://www.pbase.com/phototalk_thh/lightroom_strange_artifacts
    Have you also encountered such problem?

    Thomas,
    Before, I start, I'm going to be entirely objective here. You are having a genuine issue here and I'm approaching from that point completely. You've documented it well, which helps in following it.
    Both Fill Light and Highlight recovery use internal masks to work. This means that there has to be an edge somewhere. When dealing with sudden contrast jumps like in your image, then it is possible to get the edge showing. I'm looking at 2 images here on my machine. Both of the same scene. A ruin against a blue sky. One underexposed a lot, the other mildly underexposed. Over 30 of FL gives me an edge like yours on the underexposed image, but not until 60 with the mildly underexposed image. The edge in the first image still looks okay until I start adding Recovery. This is probably because the Masks have the same edge point and are boosting each other, making it look much worse.
    FWIW, the Fill Light in Lightroom is not based on any RSP code, so I suspect that a like for like figure comparison is moot, much like comparing F or C scales on a degree by degree basis.
    Is there an issue? Not so much on reasonably exposed images, but for underexposed images, I do see an edge when pushing Fill Light in regions of high contrast . It is exacerbated by using Recovery.
    It has been mentioned before by me in the past.

  • What happened to fill light in Camera Raw 7? I miss it.

    Fill light seems to be missing in Camera Raw 7...how to substitute for it?

    If you really, really want it back you can force the conversion to use process 2010.
    But try Trevor's suggestion, and especially try taking the time to unlearn the old way and get used to using all the new controls.  I'm finding it easier to get good results more quickly with the new setup.

  • LR4.1 preset for sharpening darkens pictures

    Hello,
    the Adobe presets delivered with LR4 for sharpening include a command line which forces a switch to the new process engine "2012" or ProcessVersion = "6.7".  I do not understand why Adobe allows a general preset to include a process version change command.
    As a result, these sharpening presets can not be used on photos from an older LR3.x catalog without affecting the exposure or brightness - if you do, the picture exposure or brightness or whatever is set to lower settings, the histogram shows a darkening of about 2/3 aperture. Unfortunately, as the exposure changes, no slider or number value of the exposure, brightness etc. do change - very inconsistent.
    In case you would choose to develop an older photo in LR4.1 and first use the upate icon button right of the picture to update the photo to process version 2012, then the picture will convert without changes in exposure (to the new process version) and then, the sharpening preset will not alter the exposure.
    Also, it is hard to understand that the command line in the preset has a different result compared to the update button.
    Presets seem to be dependent on certain process versions.  No consideration is visible in the software for upgrade of change management of presets vs. process versions.  A hard switch by command line does not to the job - this command line should not be in the preset.  OR - the presets have to be named "LR4.1 presets only".
    I consider this behaviour to be a bug or nonconformity of the software.
    Mostly confused. I will have to manage all manually, with a catalog of approx. 35.000 pictures.
    Any resolution to this?
    Gerd

    There are a number of LR4 Develop presets That apply PV2012 without doing the develop conversion process. This sure looks like a bug to me!
    I agree with Rob that there should be a "warning" popup and proper conversion if you choose to proceed.
    You can submit a bug report here:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family
    For now your easiest solution is to create your own develop presets, or copy LR3's presets by 'Import' into a 'New Folder' titled 'LR3 Presets inside the LR4 Develop module 'Presets' panel.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2012/04/updating-develop-presets-for-lightroom-4-2 .html
    I just tried it on my Windows 7 LR4.1 and the LR3 presets work fine in LR4. It looks like they also include PV2010 as part of the LR3 preset, so make sure you don't use them with any LR4 PV2012 processed images. LR3 must be installed (or reinstalled) to 'Import' the LR3 develop presets into LR4.
    Here's the path on Windows 7 to 'Import' the LR3 presets inside LR4's Develop module:
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Develop Presets\Lightroom Presets
    The new 'LR3 Presets' folder will also show up in LR3's Develop preset panel. Simply ignore it if you still use LR3, but don't delete the folder.

  • Is there any slider in Aperture that equates to "fill light" in Light Room

    is there any slider in Aperture that equates to "fill light" in Lightroom?   thank u, joanlvh

    I always have to chuckle at this question. Aperture introduced a much, much more sophisticated tool, Highlights and Shadows, in Aperture 2, if not 1.5. Now that Lightroom has finally caught up, everyone thinks that it is something new.
    You may find this thread helpful: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18038140#18038140
    Bottom line, Highlights and Shadows can do much more than "Fill Light." And, in any case, Lightroom 4 dropped "Fill Light" for ... "Highlights and Shadows."
    If you want a brute force "Fill Light", try some of these:
    -- "Brightness"
    -- Brushing Dodge and Burn
    Enjoy!

  • Capture preset for dcvprohd1080 24p??????

    I just shot a bunch of footage with an hvx200. The recording format was 1080i/24p. I am used to filming 720p with this camera and the presets in fcp are fine. There is not a capture preset for 1080/24p in fcp. There is only a 1080/24pa preset, which cant be right because its a totally differnt recording format. does anyone know the right way to capture dvcprohd 1080i/24p?

    I found that most interesting.... but again I ask why do you need to go to all the hassle and it IS hassle of RE-encoding from MXF to QT? I'm editing the MXF files straight.
    There is no "reencode", it is a simple transfer and addition of a QT wrapper so that FCP can read the files. Nothing is re-encoded, no metadata is lost, as Ben says. Hassle? What UTTER nonsense! if you rename the clip, FCP knows what links to what, and when you import you can RENAME and ORGANIZE your clips...a KEY thing to an efficient workflow.
    Are you telling me you EDIT THE MASTERS? You don't back up your footage at all? So, if your hard drive fails (and they often do), then all your footage is gone. Even if you edit the MXF files directly with Raylight, you ought to back up the masters by copying them to another disk, or LTO, or whatever. Just common sense. I keep my original MXF files on an archive disk and import the files into FCP where I can rename and organize how I please.
    In all my time of using the HVX (about 16 months) I've never known FCP to save the Metadata.... even if it hides it somewhere obscure its still a waste as FCP can't intiragate it.... i.e. I did a search this morning for all 720 50p footage shot in Tibet on P2 card serial number XXXXXX.... its an absolute breeze with P2cms. How can you do that with FCP? you can't you have to rummage through potentially 100's of clips.
    What metadata are you referring to? All you need are the clip names and timecode information really, and FCP retains that. Even if you rename a clip from 0003FG5 to "man crosses street," FCP knows that MAN CROSSES STREET is tied to 0003FG5. If the drive fails or media is lost, and you reimport, it goes right to the clip.
    I don't in anyway doubt your qualification in this field BUT I find it odd that your advocating such a convoluted workflow!
    Convoluted? Are you STILL saying that you edit your MASTER CLIPS and don't back them up? And if you do back them up (as you should), doesn't THAT double the size of your footage?
    First I program the metadata into the HVX via the SD card. I shoot what I need. I then hook up to my MBP to the HVX and fire up P2cms. I then injest the card(s). Lastly I fill in any outstanding required metadata.
    When I come to edit the footage.... I have the powerful P2cms database on hand to find any footage that I need within my collection of 1000's of clips. That then gets dropped into the required sequence. No fuss no hassle!
    Sorry to say it but after spending about a year with it all I can say is that Apple's workflow *****
    Depends on what you are doing, what you are editing, and what workflow you need. Your workflow works for you, but doesn't necessarily work for everyone. Just like the Importing workflow doesn't work for everyone. A lot of people like and use Raylight and edit the masters right away. ENG crews, people who need fast turnaround. It works. But so does importing and renaming and all that. There isn't ONE way to do things, because there are many many different production types...each requiring a different approach.
    Work the way you work...do what you do. Don't knock something because it isn't the way you do it. As the saying goes, "there is more than one way to skin a cat." As long as the cat ends up skinned, what does it matter how you did it?
    Eeew.

  • Fill Light algorithm

    Hi all
    I find the fill light slider in lightroom and ACR 4 to over increase saturation creating an unpleasing effect...
    ... of course my monitor is calibrated and I have everything color managed the right way
    I also tried dxo optics pro, ***I LIKE LIGHTROOM BEST*** but... their fill light algorithm gives much more natural effect, so please talented adobe engineers... fix this in next releases
    Cheers

    To Wolf and Lee :
    -Yes shadow/highlight in photoshop is more powerful and can give the exact result one is looking for with some practice
    But lightroom is a standalone program aimed at users that doesn't want to much bother with complicated tweaks, I'm not complaining about, I just find that this particular adjustment doesn't match the quality I was expecting
    I tried it with a raw file taken by my s3 pro (wich has 14 bit/channel raw format and much more dynamic range then other DSLRS) and I find dxo optics pro giving more pleasing results right away regarding this particular slider
    I think that with all the controls we have in lightroom one will be able to achieve the look he's after, and I'm happy with so many tweaks, I particularly like it smart cropping, TAT, the vibrance slider and the facilitated curves controls are really nice and so far unmatched by any other software I know
    But still IMHO fill light slider could me much better, trying this particular function in dxo confirmed what I was thinking

  • Unable To Use DVDSP4 Presets for HD-DVD in the H.264 Format

    I recently prepared a 23 minute slide show using Fotomagico from high resolution Hasselblad slides scanned in at 1200 dpi. Within Fotomagico I rendered the Fotomagico slide show to Apple ProRes 422 HQ, took it into Final Cut Pro 6.03 and added an intro and closing section. I then sent this to Compressor and selected the 30 minute HD-DVD preset which uses mpeg2. All went fine with the encoding to mpeg2 and I got a successful build and format out of DVDSP4 after importing the resulting .m2v file into DVDSP4. However, while the disk plays back fine in my Mac Pro it plays back with stuttering (audio and video) on my Toshiba HD-A2 HD-DVD player. I used a Verbatim Datalife DVD+R, but several other discs from other manufactuers including a DVD-R disc showed the same problem.
    Please note that I have the latest firmware on my Toshiba HD-A2 and I have successfully burned RL HD-DVD discs using my PC and Windows software (Ulead's DVD Movie Factory 6+) which play fine without stuttering on my HD-A2.
    I then decided to send the project to Compressor and use the 60 minute HD-DVD preset that encodes to H.264. Once again Compressor successfully executed the encode of my 23 minute slide show and it plays fine in QuickTime or MPEG StreamClip. However, every time I try and import this .mov file encoded in H.264 using the Compressor preset for HD-DVD into DVDSP4, DVDSP4 brings it in to the assets folder, but after a couple of seconds DVDSP4 crashes. Using console I get a message that DVDSP4 quit unexpectedly due to a "segmentation fault".
    I also tried to take the ProRes Fotomagic project in Final Cut Pro 6.02 and send it out with Quicktime Conversion using the H.264 codec. Again I have a file that plays fine in QT, but when I try and import this .mov file into DVDSP4, I get the message "imcompatible format".
    In summary, I am completely frustrated after many many hours of work at trying to prepare an HD-DVD on red laser of my slide show in DVDSP4. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong, and I would be most appreciative of any suggestions anyone may have.
    Thanks in advance.

    Am I the only person who has ever tried to use the Presets in Compressor 3 for encoding HD-DVD disks? I would like to use these presets for burning HD-DVD's to standard red laser media as I have done on my PC. With the mpeg2 Preset I can get nothing but stuttering video when played back on my Toshiba HD-A2 and when I use Compressor 3 to encode with either of the H264 presets, the resulting .mov file causes DVDSP4 to crash when I import the file. Has no one else experienced this? Does anyone have any thoughts on addressing these issues other than to go back to working on my PC?

  • Is there a way to create a preset for drop shadows?

    I'm setting up a template for a new brochure that will need drop shadows on every product that is being placed. Is there a way to save a preset for a drop shadow so I need not have to recreate the shadow every time? Also this is being distributed to many people to work on and effects presets would be hugely beneficial-just not sure if that is possible? Although it is Indesign, and they are usually on the up and up for this kind of thing.
    Thanks!

    The Eyedropper Tool is a quick way of applying the same drop shadow to many objects
    But as peter says object styles is a much simplier way.

    Hello Nithya,
    It seems the No of tolerated faulty documents that you have given is 0. So when you initialize try to these.
    While executing OLI*BW including a value in the maintain  "No. tolerated faulty documents" - 5000 or 10000.
